Injector nuts
Crank the engine with the throttle lever in the CLOSED position until the engine starts.Note: If necessary, loosen the union nuts (1) on the fuel injection lines at the connection with the fuel injector until fuel is evident. Stop cranking the engine. Tighten the union nuts (1) to a torque of 30 N m (22 lb ft).
Start the engine and run the engine at idle for 1 minute.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
Cycle the throttle lever from the low idle position to the high idle position three times. The cycle time for the throttle lever is one second to six seconds for one complete cycle.Note: In order to purge air from the fuel injection pump on engines with a fixed throttle, the engine should be run at full load for 30 seconds. The load should then be decreased until the engine is at high idle. The process should be repeated three times. Repeating the process three times will assist in removing trapped air from the fuel injection pump.
Check for leaks in the fuel system.
